The Parrish Art Museum honored 38 young artists for their work on view in the 2017 Student Exhibition on Saturday afternoon. Artist Neill Slaughter, a professor of Visual Art at Long Island University, C.W. Post campus, selected the honorees from more than 150 high school student participants. “Regardless of the medium or whether the art is abstract or representational realist in its approach, I try to be as objective as possible while judging an exhibition,” Mr. Slaughter said. “While I certainly value skill and technique, ultimately I look for an honesty and truth in the artwork.” Mr. Slaughter and Parrish director Terrie Sultan presented Awards of Excellence to 34 seniors, and “Ones to Watch” awards to 4 juniors. The exhibition is on view through February 26. TOM KOCHIE PHOTOS.
